The camp of centaurs at location{150,-2400} are being abused from a good chunk of players from the levels 18-35.
On live they were social, attack one and you had em all.
Although I remember that killing them resulted in no faction change good or bad.
Right now the centaur camp provides a far safer and lucrative place to farm xp than the aviaks, as they don't take a group, or CC abilities. Also the quantities of static spawns as opposed to using a puller or tracker to pull wanderers for singles. Basic risk/reward imbalance that i hope is a simple database query to the cents. :)

Some extra research shows that they used to use bows as well requiring kiters to keep a larger distance. Also random centaur wanderers would be rogue and were KoS.


And from the wayback machine in march of 2000, South Karana was not revamped yet. http://web.archive.org/web/20010423165322/eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=3316 Centaurs in general are pretty stupid. They will stop at a short distance and shoot arrows at you. With a good AC, they will miss a lot. Snare/DoT/root/DD/arrows are all means you can safely kite them. Other Centaurs will assist.

Bump. People are still grinding on the centaur town without them assisting each other. Risk vs reward gets thrown right out the door on this camp. After you're done, you can even sell to the centaur merchant.
